This is some of the tastiest cookie batter ever (nevermind the raw eggs) I’m not planning to stretch myself thin this holiday. It’s just not worth it. I think people set such high expectations each season and then run themselves ragged trying to pull it all off. The honest truth […]
Seven days
Jeesh…I think I forgot how to use my G2 I go back to “work” in one week. I use quotation marks because I’m actually working tonight. I’ve done some small projects while on leave, but I shall be parking my butt in my client’s chair once again starting Monday. This […]
Girl time
At her new favorite store: Global Infusion So Tracy and I spent hours together on Saturday — dining, exploring, shopping and cat-petting. Fun! The Mean Green Burrito was yummy, of course. Then we walked down Cherry and hit the shops in East Hills. From there we headed down Diamond to […]
Stress-free shopping
Decking out my fake pine shwag Today we toured Breton Village again. I come back to this mall time and again because 1) it’s less than a mile from my house; 2) it’s NOT crowded (like the Bath and Body Works store at Woodland yesterday, where 20 stupid women waited […]

Dear Devin

What I did with my morning
This is Alec (friend of Devin): he can blow a mean bubble I made an observation today. This is probably not news to anyone else, but 95% of the people at the mall during the day are moms. As I pushed my stroller from store to store, I noted that […]
Today flat-out sucks
Scott took Pete back to Mackenzie’s this morning. I sat on the floor with him, saying goodbye, before he was loaded in the car along with a bag of toys and treats. I can’t really express how I feel. Pete’s been a very challenging dog for us. There were many […]
